Our Cast of Characters:
- Chadwick L. Swiss, but you can call him Chad, is somewhat distant due to his non-closeness to with beloved Accordion.
- Ronald Arnold Gerrimoto Beeslyhuxtoy, but you can call him Ronnie, is for the most part out of it due to the fact that he's been beating & bludgeoned. He's loosing blood & become incoherent when he's not past out.
-Jane Tarzania, but you call her Jane, has taken on the role of helper for Ronnie.

The Situation they find themselves in: A crazed Wally-World Store Manager, who Chad & Ronnie had "fun" with some time ago, was now seeking his revenge. He's detained the duo but they managed to get word out to 2 people: Jane & Catherine, who when they came to rescue the duo were captured themselves. While The Manager is currently attending to his Managerial duties, The four of them got free from there restraints. Now, to escape! But how?
---------------
"What to do. What to do." Catherine said as she tapped her index finger on her chin thinking. Her head & eyes were aimed at the ceiling. She was also wondering around is tiny circles.
Chad was nervously fidgeting, it looked to Jane like he was playing an invisible Accordion. Jane then restituted the weight of Ronnie she was carrying. Ronnie's right arm hung over her shoulders. He stood their somewhat limply, he faded in & out of consciousness.
Jane feared the worse for Mr. Beeslyhuxtoy, she'd seen him do & take many things but today was the worse. He'd lost a lot of blood, his apparent semi-lucid state many mean he has brain damage.
"Think of something fast." Jane said franticly & rather loudly. After speaking those words, she looked like she did mean it to be that loud.
"What?" Catherine said a bit surprised. Jane's comment had broken her train of thought.
"We need to get out of here & get Ronnie to hospital."
"But, it sa not derk out slide. I only go to the Hop-Pit-All during the dark time because of dur nice Grace lady. She fix me up good." Ronnie said, slurring his speak as he talked.
"I think he may have some brain damage." Jane said.
"I don't got any drain bamage, I'm right as that liquid that falls from the sky." Ronnie said & paused for a moment. "What's that called again?"
"Rain, Ronnie. It's called rain." Jane said sadly.
"Oh yeah!" he said with a big wide bloody smile. "I like rain."
His words trailed off as his head slumped over & he was out again. Jane sighed a sad sigh.
"Let's see..." Catherine said drawing out the last syllable word. "We can go out into the store, take a few items off the shelves & bring them back here."
"Why would we do that?" Jane asked as she restituted Ronnie's weight once again.
"I bet store rules prohibit customers from bringing unpaid items into the back room, the bathroom, etc. Basically any place not on the main shopping floor. So the Store Manager's hands would be now tied until we either pay for the stuff or the police show up to arrest us for shoplifting. We'd get out of here Scott Free!" Catherine said with some glee.
"Yes. But, then we'd be in Jail & how does that plan help Ronnie get some medical attention?"
The happiness left Catherine's face. "That's right. Hmmm...." She said & then began to look around.
They all stood there in silence. The noise was the music playing over the Intercom & the sounds made by machines in the room.
"I love this song!" Catherine said.
"What?" Jane shot back.
"It's Ballroom Blitz by Sweet. I thought if I was to ever score a movie I'd use this song during a fight scene, or at least fight montage."
Jane snapped his finger on her right hand in front of Catherine's face. She had the girl stop listening to the pop hit from summer of '73. "Concentrate! We need to get out here."
"Ok. Ok." Catherine said psyching herself up. "Where's the phone Ronnie called me from?"
"Broken. The Store Manager threw that phone against the wall breaking it. There is another broken phone around, too."
"Ok. Plan B: We could use the store phone system & dial 9 for Freedom!" Catherine said, but paused for a moment. "But, then they could be monitoring it so that's out of the question."
That was another pause, Catherine was thinking. Jane wasn't liking it. She was taking too long. Ronnie would have thought of something by now & gone on with it no, ifs or buts!
"Why don't we just make a dash for the door?" Jane said a little angrily.
"Hmmm... Simple. Unexpected. It's so crazy it might even work. But, 2 problems."
"Which are?"
"They are selling Little Cat & Chad's Accordion in the store. We just can't leave them here."
Chad's ears perked up at the mention of his beloved Accordion.
"Hmmm...." Catherine said again. She was also tapping her index against her chin again. It was beginning to annoy Jane.
"How about this? Jane you make a dash with Ronnie for the door. It should, if I remember the store layout, just out down the center aisle way here. I'll take Chad & go get the missing items. We'll meet up later & have.. oh, I don't know: Waffles! Yeah. Waffles. We'll have Waffles." Catherine said.
She held out her hand, palm down. She waited for a moment or two. Jane didn't know what to do, Ronnie was past out & Chad didn't see her do this. Catherine then raised her arm up & said. "Break!"
She head for the door, with Chad in tow. She turned her head back & with a smile said. "See you on the outside."
Jane was then left along with the dead weight that is her ex-Boyfriend. She restitutes Ronnie's weight once again. "Ok." She said & made her way to the door.
Jane made her way through the black plastic doors. She looked to the left & to the right: no one. The two of them made their way down the aisle way. Jane made sure to not make eye contact with any of the shoppers. She wonder how they could shop there. Sure, the prices were cheep but it was destroying lives (both financial, mental & physically).
Out of the corner of her eye, Jane sees something & darts with Ronnie into a side aisle. They crouch down, hoping to hide. The squeak of loose, ungreased wheel became louder & louder as it got closer, closer, closer still. The noise almost seems to drill into Jane's mind. She almost couldn't take it. Would this be the final straw? Jane was holding back tears, as she sat there on the tiled floor.
As the Cart passed, the Boy inside it asked "Mommy, what's wrong with that lady?"
"Nothing, Timmy. All the money you save here at Wally-World just makes people react strangely sometimes."
He accepted that answer & then asked. "Mommy, why is that Man bleeding?"
His Mother took a quick look over & down. "I don't know." She then started to push her faster then before.
Once the cart gone, Jane wipes away the tears that did get out. She start to get up with Ronnie. He wakes.
"wazhapn?" he mumbles.
"It's ok, Ronnie." She whispers. "I'm going to get you help."
"Lar Lee Gen?"
"Yes, Ronnie. I'm going to get Lair Legion to help you."
"Rok mi sox off." Ronnie said as he faded out again.
The duo get back to the main aisle way, they start to walk again (Jane walks, Ronnie's feet just drag as he's moved).
Jane & Ronnie now about to the mid point of the store, when an announcement comes over the the intercom was made. "Good Morning, Wally-World Customers. Would a Jane Tarzania please meet the rest of her party at Customer Service! Jane Tarzania & any accompanying her please meet the rest of her party at Customer Service. Thank You!"
Jane knew that voice it was the Store Manager. Something must of happened Chad & Catherine. Jane started to look around. She'd meet up with her party at Customer Service, but she'd come armed.

TO BE CONTINUED or CONCLUDED (I haven't decided if the next part with the last part or not).
